Plot
editShashi Sharma, Akbar, and a group of young people pledge never to give nor receive dowry in protest against the dowry system.[3] Shashi had an older sister who lost her life being a victim of the dowry system. Acting against his mother's wishes, Shashi marries Sugandha Srivastav without asking for any dowry. He arranges his other sister, Rama's marriage with Ravi Verma, the son of Goverdhan and Shakuntala.
Goverdhan is a legislator and a very greedy man. As he does not get any dowry, he and his wife become quite upset, though Ravi is happy. Both want Ravi to remarry so that they can get dowry. Meanwhile, Rama becomes pregnant, and so the in-laws try to eliminate her at the earliest. Goverdhan gets Ravi transferred to Delhi. After sending him away, Goverdhan plans to kill Rama and make it look like an accident. But things do not turn out as he expects, and his wife gets badly burned, who has to be hospitalized. Taking this opportunity, Goverdhan blames Rama for attempting to kill Shakuntala and has her arrested. He also hires goons to kill Shashi. Shashi, along with Ravi, overcomes all obstacles after a fight with the goons and reaches the hospital with Ravi being seriously injured. Goverdhan becomes remorseful after seeing his injured son and asks for Rama's forgiveness. Rama, who has just given birth to a daughter, forgives him. Goverdhan too pledges that no one would ever take nor receive any dowry in his family.
